Record staffCHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — The Kitchener Rivershark Twins earned a measure of redemption when they downed the hosts 6-1 in the title game at the Canadian senior men’s fastpitch championship on Sunday.
The defending national champion R-Twins stumbled in their quest to collect three consecutive world club team titles a couple of weeks ago, settling for second place, but were not to be denied at the national championship.
Rowan Lam collected two RBI for the winners who roared undefeated through the weeklong tournament.
Hurricane Earl forced Saturday’s playoff round to be contested on Friday, but not even that could deter the R-Twins who recorded their first Canadian title in the team’s four-decade history last year in St. Thomas.
Don Scott and Paul Koert combined for the championship win. The duo scattered six hits while R-Twins ace Todd Martin remained on the shelf with a shoulder injury.
Familiar foe Frank Cox absorbed the loss. He allowed three earned runs through three and a third innings for the hosts, known as the Gahan House Fawcetts.
